Hazard

The sequins can fall off, generating small parts and the straps of the dress intended to be worn partially around the neck create a fixed loop without breakaway feature. A small child may put the small parts in the mouth and choke or get stuck with the straps, leading to strangulation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European Standard EN 71-1.
